A Rare Green Defence of Democracy

Sec. Kerry was at a commencement today doing everything but
yelling BOOO! Global Storms! Cat and Dogs! falling from the sky!
I can’t find the transcript yet heard it on ABC radio news.

UN Agenda 21 and its offshoots seek to create more than just a green dictatorship.
We need to be aware of this because even if AGW is repudiated by all, (as it should be), Agenda 21 will carry on with its insidious brain washing by penetration of our schools, local governments and its creation of cadre administered groups.
Check out this document for instance;

Democracy is perhaps a bulwark against egregious excess, although as the great one, George Carlin pointed out, democracy is only there to give you the illusion of control.
No, the public attitudes against CAGW as a threat are driven by the simple wisdom of crowds. In the classic experiment, a sealed jar of jelly beans is put in the window of a store. Passersby are invited to write their guesses about the number of jelly beans on a slip of paper.
“Scientists” among them will attempt to estimate the size of the jar, the beans, packing density, build models of the jar, etc. Everyone else will just look at the jar and with no knowledge, write down a number, like 793.
The most accurate guess about the number of jelly beans will inevitably be the average of all the uneducated guesses – the wisdom of the crowd.
The “crowd” knows that CAGW is baloney, that there is no imminent threat – no visible sea level rise, no cars melting into lumps in the noonday sun – heck people seek out warmer climates. They know that warm is good and cold is bad – an ingrained knowledge of all humans for at least the last million years – if not of all animals and plants since life began.
The reason the Greensheep movement is failing to sell CAGW is because they are trying to “educate” people to act against what people instinctively know is correct.

While the green author’s support for democracy is indeed refreshing, his reasoning is flawed. He essentially compares the general environmental performance of existing third world dictatorships to existing wealthy democracies. The autocracies proposed by the green elites are neither of these. They are a new kind of theocracy, based on irrational beliefs in vague future promises of salvation of the world, imposing pure, “carbon-free” lifestyles and punishing apostates and heretics with imprisonment or execution.
To be honest, given that most people are rational and will always choose real benefits vs imaginary salvation, I think the only way they can achieve their ideal (at least in their minds) world is by forcing people to do their bidding, at least until renewables become cheaper and truly capable of supplying the world’s energy somehow.

Democracy didn’t help Australia avoid stupid decisions such as half a dozen useless desal plants or a useless carbon tax. There is no doubts that democracy in Australia has been made ineffective with parties that either are controlled by being in a coalition with the Greens when Labor was in power or by control of the senate by the greens and left leaning independents when Liberals were in power. We have had a minority green influence controlling the agenda for the last 10 years. Unless green groups ( the modern anti business greens) have zero influence over policy then democracy in Australia doesn’t work. I am fearful that the latest senate changes will make the green balance of power a permanent fixture with less than 15% of the voters controlling all our lives.
